WIC Program Helps Mothers Raise Healthy Babies<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Texas WIC program can be a mother\u2019s best friend.<\/p>\n

Many moms and their children across Texas are benefiting from this nutritional supplement program aimed at getting babies off to a healthy start. It\u2019s a\u00a0FREE<\/b>\u00a0program for eligible mothers and their children up to age 5.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t heard about\u00a0Texas WIC<\/a>\u00a0or aren\u2019t sure of it\u2019s benefits, we are giving you our top 3 reasons to consider applying for the program:<\/p>\n

1. MOTHER\u2019S HEALTH<\/b><\/p>\n

There are few better ways to help a baby grow healthy than by helping an expecting mother with nutrition and health.\u00a0 A healthy mother can help create a healthy baby. That\u2019s why the program is open to pregnant women.<\/p>\n

The Texas WIC program helps mothers with nutrition counseling and guidance along the way. There are so many health considerations to\u00a0 make once you become pregnant:\u00a0 What should I eat? Should I exercise? How much? Am I getting the right nutrients?\u00a0 It can all be a lot to take in for any mother, but Texas WIC nutritionists can be there along the way to help you make healthy choices.<\/p>\n

One of the best parts is that Texas WIC provides free, nutritious food package supplements each month to help you eat healthy in order to give the baby (and you) the nutrition you need during pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Once the baby arrives, they are also there for support. WIC experts help with breastfeeding guidance and nutrition support for your child up to age 5. That means there is help for so many of the concerns you have as a new mother, like: \u201cAm I feeding my baby the right way and enough\u2019 Texas WIC offers FREE counseling and guidance to so many of these health questions.<\/p>\n

2. YOUR CHILD\u2019S HEALTH<\/b><\/h3>\n

Texas WIC is an amazing gift for your child. The program ensures that your baby doesn\u2019t go without healthy nutrition.\u00a0 Aside from breastfeeding support, Texas WIC even pays for baby formula (which can be very expensive).\u00a0 If your baby needs a special baby formula, it will pay for that too with a doctor\u2019s prescription.\u00a0 As the child gets older, the free monthly food package changes with your child\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

Keeping your child fed with the right nutrition isn\u2019t the only support you will get.\u00a0\u00a0Texas WIC<\/a>\u00a0 also offers free counseling and guidance to help make sure your baby is growing healthy. There are even free online nutrition classes.<\/p>\n

3. JOIN TEXAS WIC FOR FREE NUTRITIONAL FOOD<\/b><\/h3>\n

There is no better benefit than free, nutritious food for you and your baby. Knowing your baby is getting the nutrition they need is enough to calm almost any anxious mother. The best part is that it\u2019s free to qualifying mothers and their babies.<\/p>\n

Each month Texas WIC will load benefits onto an ebt card. WIC clients can use this card to redeem their benefits for WIC foods at stores.\u00a0 The food benefits will change as your baby grows and has different needs. The food packages can cover everything from\u00a0baby formula\u00a0and\u00a0baby food to milk, cheese, yogurt, beans, whole wheat bread, tortillas and pasta and fresh fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n

To make it even easier, Primarily WIC grocery stores are open near some Texas WIC clinics to help WIC clients redeem their benefits in an easy shopping format.\u00a0 These stores are not affiliated with WIC\u00a0 \u2013 but are a Primarily WIC grocery stores \u2013 which means they mostly carry only WIC-approved items.\u00a0 At many of these stores WIC clients don\u2019t have to go searching for WIC items in the store. Instead, they simply walk up to a counter where a staff member will walk them through the shopping process for getting their WIC groceries.\u00a0It\u2019s a super easy and convenient way to get your\u00a0WIC groceries.<\/p>\n
